Renoir-Floridablanca has four screens and shows up to eight independent, off-beat foreign and Spanish films per day, though make note that programming can tend towards the worthy, rather than the particularly exciting. So if your friend doesn`t speak Spanish, is a perfect place for him, as he has a wide range of good movies in English and Spanish, as well.
